Quality Assurance is a way of life at Dura-Bar. All employees, in essence, are in Quality Assurance at the company. This philosophy has guided Dura-Bar since its inception over 40 years ago. Our product is recognized as the leader in consistent production and delivery of quality continuous cast iron.
Dura-Bar’s commitment to quality starts with a process registered by UL to ISO 9001. But it doesn’t end there. It takes more than a consistent casting process to guarantee the best machining bar stock in the industry. That takes a serious investment in people, tight process control and real research and development to fully understand every detail of the continuous bar making business. The result is our Dura-Bar material.
Dura-Bar employs a detailed and strict process called Advanced Planning Quality Process (APQP) which is based on an early definition of the customer's requirements and how to meet these requirements. The APQP allows Dura-Bar to create a comprehensive control procedure from initial contract through delivery. Quality Assurance at Dura-Bar is truly a team effort.
